Hi Rich! How ya been?
Been following your thread - at a somewhat respectable distance! - but with some unforeseen & unplanned free time (thanx to a subway emergency in Brooklyn, no less!) I thought I'd take minute or two to chime in (I can practically HEAR some of you CRINGING, like, "Oh wow. Here comes this maniac. Wonder what kind of incendiary BS he's gonna spout outta his blowhole this morning!" (See, not ALL the voices I hear are strictly from inside of my own head! LOL!).
Usually, I try not to participate in such potentially polarizing discussions, as I do like to get along and play nice with all the other kids in the sandbox. But then I just thought about it for a minute and thought. . .WHAT THE HELL! I'll give it a shot, if you don't mind too much.
Thanx for the snapshot of Hillary with a prolonged proboscis, which is probably one of the more accurate pix of her prior to her peeps working on it for her pubic . . . er, I mean
PUBLIC appearances. (Freudian slip, though other parts of the nether region in the rear end of the human anatomy might come to mind when thinking of Hillary)!
While I live and work in one of the most politically liberal areas of the country, not to mention being a social worker for the past quarter century or so, an occupation which can be considered to be
liberal by definition, it is a wonder WHY someone like her will provoke such an adverse reaction in me both physically AND mentally! I mean, just about EVERY TIME I see this woman waddling onto a stage with her fashion-conscious phoniness which just complements her other bogus, plastic-looking, totally fabricated, ersatz (always wanted to use that word!), artificial, imitation, counterfeit, simulated, and otherwise synthetically-manufactured look and appearance, I just get a reaction similar to the one that was in the news almost a quarter century ago, for those of you old enough to remember in reference to a television personality who provoked a seizure in one of her audience members! For those of you who don't or are too young to remember, in 1991, a neurologist reported in a medical journal that a woman got epileptic seizures by hearing the voice of Mary Hart, a host of the syndicated television program "Entertainment Tonight." (I took the liberty of inserting a link to an article describing this phenomenon below, for those of you who need some proof):

While I don't have such an EXTREME reaction (thankfully!) as that, whenever I turn the news on and happen to catch her with that disgustingly phony smile, while she POINTS to no one in particular as if she knows them (one of the most PRETENTIOUS things I've EVER seen her repeat OVER & OVER & OVER & OVER again & again & again & again . . . ) UGH! And this is before she even OPENS her YAP, forever seeming to mimic a high school valedictorian giving a speech (can you imagine how this must frustrate her husband, who, political ideologies notwithstanding, was one of the greatest orators of the 20th Century?).
In any case, I'm not suggesting that Trump is the most upstanding gentlemen who would serve as a valid and reliable alternative as a public figure who could help the US navigate our way through the turbulent waters of the near future. Especially in light of the adverse reaction of, and from, women, who contrary to popular belief, are a significantly important component of our society as a whole, to put it mildly! One part of me asks, if any of those recent accusations are true, then how come not even ONE video from a smartphone or other device hasn't appeared as is probably the biggest liability towards ANY human being doing almost ANYTHING nowadays? ESPECIALLY NOWADAYS! Even restrooms aren't safe! The other part of me says, "If 10 people call you a horse, perhaps it's time to shop around for a saddle!" The fact that Trump is narcissistic and rarely, if EVER, apologizes for ANYTHING doesn't assist in any of his cases except for the fact that he probably wouldn't allow any foreign leaders to bully or intimidate him (Osama Obama didn't meet with the Philipino president, a man who publicly advocates vigilante death squads in killing drug pushers AND addicts alike, because he threatened to curse Obama out. Could you imagine what Trump would have done? To dismiss or sweep this guy under the proverbial rug is similar to putting your head in the sand, meanwhile the status quo is perpetuated, as would be the case with Barack's intended successor, Hillary, who is probably part of the reason guys like that Philipino maniac exist in the first place!). Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that a changing of the type of guard this country has is in order. Unfortunately, the list of potential candidates has dwindled to just two choices.
At the risk of being redundant (found in the dictionary under REDUNDANT), here is a caption I have posted before but which continues to capture what myself and many others in this country believe is the current situation! This despite the fact that I personally CANNOT bring myself to vote for Hillary only because of what it would do in terms of my own conscience and in terms of what I know and what I believe to be!
In any case, thanx for starting and maintaining a thread which allows for some of us to VENT about how we actually FEEL in one of the most ethically-turbulent presidential elections of our time! At least, probably the most upsetting since the days when Barry Goldwater or even Alf Landon ceased to be presidential timber (a non-related but interesting note is that Landon was the only major party nominee for president to live at least 100 years!).
